Learning outcomes: Knowledge: Student W1-demonstrates knowledge on the rules of application of mixtures and premixes produced according to the different technologies, for particular production groups considering the principles of their nutrition [BH2-W09; R2A_W04]. W2-Explains the technological processes used in production of commercial mixtures and premixes for all species of farmed livestock and for pets [BH2-W10; R2A_W05]. W3-Characterizes technological bases of production of commercial mixtures and premixes. It knows the principles of agglomeration, manufacturingand expedition of feeds [BH2-W10; R2A_W05]. Skills: Student U1-Selects the technological processes according to the production processes of commercial mixtures and premixes offered to particular productive groups of farmed livestock and pets [BH2-U07; R2A_U06]. U2-Evaluate the vegetable and animal origin raw materials and minerals necessary for the production of complete and mineral feeds [BH2-U07; R2A_U06]. U3-Knows how to calculate and balance the commercial mixtures and premixes for all groups of farmed livestock and pets [BH2-U06; R2A_U06; BH2-U07; R2A_U06]. U4-Decide which materials should be agglomerated and offered to a specific animal species [[BH2-U04;R2A_U04].

Competences: Student K1-Is responsible for the presence of appropriate levels of bioactive substances in feedingstuffs and premixes, not posing threats for health, animal welfare and the natural environment [BH2-K05; R2A_K05]. K2-Has consciousness of the responsibility of consequences of improper use of commercial feeds and premixes in animal nutrition [BH2-K06; R2A_K06].
